Berries Berries Everywhere

Bottom Line: 24 pounds of Strawberries is MORE than ENOUGH for two people!



We decided to "u-pick" some fresh juicy ripe local BC Strawberries on Saturday morning. We even went out in the rain, though luckily it had stopped by the time we arrived in Langley. We each brought a bucket and down the rows we went. I guess we were done within an hour and it seemed like enough, but I might have known when I saw the raised eyebrows on the lady cashing us out.

We had a nice lunch in Fort Langley, picked up some dried Cranberries from the chatty Cranberry Lady like we always do, and a hat for Kate (like I almost always do!).

Yesterday, it was Strawberry Central on Haro Street! On the menu:
- Strawberry Smoothies
- Strawberry Spinach Salad
- Cheese and Bread with Strawberry Jam (for dinner!!)
- Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
- Trays and trays of frozen berries for future delight

If I start growing seeds in my pores, would you let me know?
